Tyler Perry taking kids in private club dispute to Walt Disney

Tyler Perry will try to make up for an alleged insult borne by a group of children at a Philadelphia day camp.

Perry said on his website on Sunday that he would send the Creative Steps campers on an all-expenses-paid trip to Walt Disney World in Florida.

“I want them to know that for every act of evil that a few people will throw at you, there are millions more who will do something kind for them,” Perry wrote.

Creative Steps, meanwhile, is planning to file a federal lawsuit against the Valley Swim Club in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, alleging breaches of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The club allegedly barred some 65 children from swimming in its pool after a visit in June.

The centre had contracted the pool during summer, but it now alleges the club cancelled and returned its cheque for $1,950 – with no explanation given.

Tyrese Gibson Plays on the National Anthem

Tyrese Gibson left the rock that he was hanging out under to sing the National Anthem for the Los Angeles Lakers game last Wednesday. He probably thought it would get him some positive media coverage. Unfortunately for him, he screwed that chance up himself. The actor and sometimes singer decided to play word-play with the beloved pre-game staple and fans were not very happy about it. Instead of singing “our flag was still there,” Tyrese sang “our Lakers were still there.” Whether they were Lakers fans or not, the change caused the audience to boo him through the rest of his performance.

Diddy Really Wants to Act

Diddy, I mean, Sean Combs is really getting into his acting career as he is set to star in a Judd Apatow-produced flick called ‘Get Him to the Greek’. It’s about a record company intern trying to get an unruly English rock star to a gig in Los Angeles. The entertainment mogul will star as the intern’s boss of course. I guess we can call it art imitating life. Diddy is so excited about his new role and he just had to share it via Twitter. He wrote “If you work hard + believe dreams do come true! Even if no one else believes! I landed a role in the new Jonah Hill, Russell Brand movie!”

Eve Launches Her Film Production Company

Rapper/actress Eve is launching her own film production company later this year – so she can retire from the entertainment industry financially secure Eva and Eve sounds quite similar, well that not the only thing that similar they both want to be rich and successful as quickly as possible, may over night if it could happen. But folks let me tell there’s nothing wrong if she wishes for a secure future, we all want it, a future that’s full of joys and happiness, a future were we do not have to think twice on the kind of vacation expenditure we can afford or what we like to splurge on a Rolex watch, some great golf accessories and hence forth, I am of the view that if at 28 she think a production company would give her the ammunition to forge ahead and zoom her onto a big bank balance the babes go for it, no risk no gain. If the risk pays off then you are one in a million and if not then no need to sulk, not everyone’s a genius born to become some Einstein.

Maines, 32, already has homes near Austin,

Texas, and in New York City, the paper added. The newest addition, in a gated community, boasts five bedrooms and seven bathrooms.

The Dixie Chicks, country music’s darlings until Maines criticized U.S. President George W. Bush during a concert four years ago, won five G

rammy Awards earlier this year in a measure of the trio’s respect within the music industry at large.

Maines’ husband, actor Adrian Pasdar, appears in the TV series “Heroes,” requiring his presence in Los Angeles for lengthy stretches, the Los Angeles Times said.

Alanis Shares a Friend

Just when you think that they have absolutely nothing in common, she proves you wrong. Pictures of Alanis Morissette and Matthew McConaughey have surfaced all over the place and sparked rumors of a relationship. A relationship that no one saw coming.

But then again, those are just rumors right?

So how come Alanis and actor Woody Harrelson arrived together at the free Paul McCartney gig at Amoeba Records on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles on Wednesday?

Not seeing the connection? Woody is Matthew’s co-star in their new flick ‘Surfer Dude’. There’s the odd chance that Alanis met Woody through Matthew who could then be Alanis’ new man.

Gah! I need details!

Elijah Wood becoming a producer

elijah.JPGWhat do you think about the perspective of this young actor in the role of producer? I think he deserves a chance.
Elijah who plays Frodo in the trilogy “Lord of The Rings” announced he would work on the adaptation of the black novel “Black Wings Has My Angel” published in 1953.
In the book is about the story of ex-prisoner who organizes armed robbery with the help of a prostitute. Elijah wouldn’t play in the movie. He would just watch this time. In an interview he said that he is really excited about the chance to inspire a new perusal to this book.
He confided that the cause to take up the producer’s job this time was the book itself. One of the actor’s favorite styles in literature is the black novels and movies. He said that this is forgotten classical literature.
Well we don’t have any other option as to wait and see what the result will be. Maybe we would be fascinated or vice versa. Who knows.
